Thank you for letting me know that it is illegal. I am likely not to look into the issue further. If I do, I will not post about it. Thank you again for your help. At least I learned a bit about HTC vs. my Samsung in the guidance I received here. :D

If someone knows of a non-illegal method, please PM me.

Has anyone tried formatting their external SD card to a file system other than FAT32? I'm a habitual ROM jumper, so it's important that it still mounts under CWM, and I'm trying to skirt the 4GB file size limitation.

I haven't been able to find the latest version of facebook with working transparent widget mod, anyone know how to do it or where to find it?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Marvlesz:
You mean with MetaMorph ?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] orangekid:
metamorph has not been working with my facebook, it acts like it does, then it's still not transparent, so what I've done is asked (and gotten) someone better with APK modifying to just upload a modded APK that I push to system/app which works, but I'm now on a pretty old version and can't find the newest one.

I'm on a CM7 2.3.5 ROM, you gotten any metamorph mods to work on the latest facebook?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] jsmccabe78:
hey orangekid.

my theme has a transparent widget (partly i guess with white on the bottom, dark on top.) anyways...my point is with cm7 is pretty easy. though you need to decompile apks to get the .9.pngs to work again - that may be what you are running into. if you just drage them and edit them and copy back to the apk things never worked for me.

to be honest, it seems from your questions of late, you need your own theme! can you compile/decompile?

(and btw, my latest version will be out later tonight...)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] orangekid:
lol, so true! Because now I'm trying to get a version of your theme but with different icons for contacts and stuff.

I have not compiled/decompiled APKs before but if there's a decent tutorial out there I learn very fast, do you know of one? Can't be too hard.

I'd love to make my own theme instead of continuing to ask other devs to do it, lol.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Marvlesz:
*Before you try his theme (I know you will either way :p), I've spent a few minutes trying to modify it. Try the apk attached and tell me what happens.

*Edit3:

*to have a fully working widget, just uninstall any previous version (even if you have the latest) of facebook and install the apk normally without pushing.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] orangekid:
will do thx!

to answer your other questions - if you install an edited apk, once it upgrades you will lose the edits. and will have to start over. which is fine, but just so you know. tis why i like cm7 and themechooser.

you asked for links, here they be. now, i am a complete novice at using terminals, etc. i learned from reading and asking questions and found a system that works for me.

two tools - apktool and apkmanager:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=964391

read the above. it is a must. really everything is laid out there.

my system (convoluted, but again i figured out a way and am sticking to it)

1- i decompile using apktool (cmd prompt --- apktool d ***.apk )

2- edit things. note: use photoshop for .9.pngs (only program that will work - paint.net, etc will not compile properly). or you can use 9editor with the sdk, but that thing is frickin' annoying

3- compile my theme (cmd prompt --- apktool b *** ) notice no ".apk"

4- then i move it to apkmanager and sign it

i guess you could do the above with apkmanager, but again, i figured out a system over days via trial and error and i am sticking to it.

now if you want to publish to the market, there is a bit more to do. let me know, and i guarantee if i figured it out (read: help from many people) anyone can.

cheers.

its a signature issue i believe. i was able to flash a modded systemui placing the old sig in after i recompiled. also you can adb push. you need to stop adb before you push and then after you push to phone restart adb
[HTC EVO 3D] KLLSWITCH:
if you open the .apk with winrar and paste the edited files you want in there and close it let winrar update it then you should be able to flash without decompiling and recompiling it with SIG intact
[HTC EVO 3D] Tiffany84:
Yep. Your right. That's how I've always edited the pngs. I always use 7zip.
[HTC EVO 3D] ajones7279:
I successfully edited my SystemUI.apk earlier using BetterZip (Mac) without decompiling the apk (just overwrote the old .pngs with the edited ons), deleted the old signed files, and then resigned. Pushed it with adb and rebooted, and voila!
[HTC EVO 3D] jkrough0728:
Im not sure how you got that to work... Everytime I have tried that I get the same result and it doesn't work well with the .9.pngs because they have to be decompiled to look right.

Yep just tried again and edited without decompile. Pushed through adb and status bar disappears even after reboot....

What I would do in the past May b doing to much but I would decompile and edit the .9 pngs then compile the apk then I would extract the .9 pngs from the newly compiled apk and insert them in the original apk..push...and reboot...have a backup just incase

Sent from my HTC EVO 3D using the XDA Premium App!
[HTC EVO 3D] ajones7279:
That's not too much really. I do the same thing because you don't always know where the guide lines are on the .9.png when they're compiled.
[HTC EVO 3D] ajones7279:
If I'm not mistaken, that's the status_bar_background.png, and shouldn't have to be decompiled to edit. Are you resigning the apk before you push it back?

I try changing that and it still stays white... but what you guys said earlier worked for the .9.pngs that were giving me issues...

Still have to figure out the dropdown background though because it wont change...

[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
There is a code edit that needs to be done in order for the dropdown to be transparent. Once the code is changed you can make it whatever color you want. The status bar is the same way in order to make it trans. I'll see if I can dig up what files they are.

Well .. Now here's what .. When I'm on roaming ...

The screen at times, doesn't unlock ..

hitting any button (including the unlock button) yields to nothing.. the screen just won't turn on ..

After repeatedly jamming some keys .. the screen unlocks. .. and everything works just fine .. till the next time, which could happen at anytime :/

What's sad is .. that my Wave's LCD , at times, doesn't even turn on while receiving calls..

What's up with this ??

There's also

a ton of other issues.

.

I'm running 1.2 bada..

The phone just reboots randomly from the home-screen

The interface gets REAL laggy at times.. with nothing in the background.:confused:

Also , SIM REFRESHING :( Esp. just as a call drops out .. the network'll go offline for anything like 5-10 minutes!!

This is rendering the phone unusable!!

Am off to the service center to ask the m for a fix/replacement/ credit note :D

Just don't know what to say to them!

If any1 lives in India , any Idea of how the Samsung RMA system works ?? I've had to put up with hell when I got my HTC fixed in Okhla :(

[Bada Software and Hacking General] 0razor1:
HEY!

Thanks for the reply !!

Well , the whole point was to simply get a new phone.. I'm going to try to get it swapped out for an S or a credit note..

The problem being-- I've been with bada long enough , and I refuse to wait even another month for the 2.0. I have another wave 2 at home , so can flash that and see how things work out later.. but for the time being , I need to get rid of this phone.

It's OBV. a software problem that manifests as a hardware problem.. at least it seems so :(

Anyway ,. my two months in Delhi have been marred by this phone virtually packing up as and when it likes.. so it's time to get a move on.

Just wanted to check whether mine was an isolated case, or whether these were permanent flaws in the device..

I did factory reset my phone after I installed 1.2 ( even that was not without heartache ) . Didn't help on my weekend trips out of station at all..

[Motorola Droid 3] daleykd:
Forgive me in advance. This is my first Android phone, and my first time on Verizon.

I'm adjusting heavily to Android. I've been used to the iPhone 4 for the last year, and though I detested it, there are things the iOS has that Android 2.3 doesn't.

One of those issues is the call quality. I'm not sure what it SHOULD sound like, but to me, this sounds like I'm at NASA talking to the ISS, or that I'm talking thru wax paper (like a kazoo), or that it sounds like early VoIP days (before NetMeeting).

Am I way off base here, or is there a setting I haven't found, or do I have a dud?

However, do you believe that you, a specialist in the hacks, is transforming our phone WP7 in a normal phone and therefore not a developer.

[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
There have been some people posting that changing the voice codec (vocoder) on the phone helps, but I haven't done a lot of testing with it to say for sure.

I don't know off hand the original post with these directions so someone feel free to link but...

1) get your MSL - call sprint and ask nicely or search for other ways if you're rooted or feel confident to use a software to access your phone from your computer which could screw things up if you change something

2) dial ##DATA# (##3282# - same thing)

3) Choose EDIT MODE

4) Enter your MSL for the password

5) Choose Advanced

6) Change EVRC-B to enable

7) Change Home Orig to EVRC-B

8) Change Roam Orig to EVRC-B

From what I've read, EVRC-B may not work on roaming or airaves, so you may want to keep that on EVRC or just switch back if you have issues. I'm currently testing SVM which I read is newer than both EVRC and EVRC-B but I could be wrong and people have said they hear me clearer. Not sure if this one works everywhere though and I could be wrong in it being newer.

I DID read that 13K gives great quality, but is older, uses more bandwidth from the tower (bad for Sprint), and has more tendency to drop calls in weaker signal spots. Also read that glitches (pops, digital noise, etc) is more obvious using that one too.

See if that helps.

Has anyone been able to dial Sprint Support (*2 or 1-888-211-4727) while on EVRC-B?

When I switched to EVRC-B, I noticed that I couldn't call Sprint Support, whether I dialed *2 or 1-888-211-4727, either way it would always give me a message saying "Network is Busy, Please try again at a later time".

I ended up having to call Sprint from my home phone and I wasn't able to actually make a call to Sprint Support from my EVO 3D until I went back into the EPST Settings, disabled EVRC-B and switched Home and Roam Orig. back to EVRC.
